If I'm sitting down to watch something new, I'm going to give it my full attention and therefore want it to be awesome. If I just want background noise then I can just put on anything that I've already seen for its mood. I can't fathom wanting to be only half paying attention to new things. It feels like living very indeliberately. Is the point just to be able to say you've seen such and such new show, or what?
Since Skip is maintaining a reactive cache. How is the cached stored?
I would speculate it would a distributed in-memory database so the computation service can scale. But I wonder how the system can recover and rebuild the cache if the cache is down.
The bug is super fun, but I also find the Intel response to be fascinating on its own. They apparently didn’t replace everyone’s processor with a non faulty version who wanted it, resulting in a ton of bad press.

To contrast, I’ve been thinking a lot about the Amazon Colorsoft launch, which had a yellow band graphics issue on some devices (mine included). Amazon waited a bit before acknowledging it (maybe a day or two, presumably to get the facts right). Then they simply quietly replace all of them. No recall. They just send you a new one if you ask for it (mine replacement comes Friday, hopefully it will fix it). My takeaway is that it’s pretty clear that having an incredibly robust return/support apparatus has a lot of benefits when launches don’t go quite right. Certainly more than you’d expect from analysis.

Similarly I haven’t seen too many recent reports about the Apple AirPod Pros crackle issue that happened a couple years ago (my AirPods had to be replaced twice), but Apple also just quietly replaced them and the support competence really seemed something powerful that isn’t always noticed.

I worry about the durability of USB C ports. I have 4 laptops >5 years old with loose USB C ports, Apple and HP brands, and yes i have cleaned them looking for lint. I don't know if it's these specific laptops or if the port is designed for obsolescence.
AFAIU NPUs are for things like voice input/output, computer vision/hand gesture io, knowing how many people/who are in front of the camera etc. Always on, real-time "ai peripherals" - not content generation.

erm, I'm a huge proponent of both peer to peer networking and piracy but it's hard to argue that transiting backbone links is more efficient than CDN boxen sitting at ISPs right next to last mile links.
This is more on the user end, but there's ways for users to isolate programs in such a way that this malware wouldn't have access to e.g. browser files and cryptocurrency wallets, some more effective/practical than others. Virtual machines, containers, jails, chroots, etc.

I think one example of what you're talking about can be seen on Android. The developer has to explicitly declare permissions (like file access) in the manifiest, and the user has to explicitly approve it.
Wow. YT Music must be extremely bad if Spotify is comparatively amazing. There are so many UX and general usability issues that drive me crazy and crazier still that they have made essentially 0 improvements to the app UX in the last 5 years.

Other streaming services are unfortunately not an adequate replacement for myself, so I'm stuck with Spotify for now, unless I become determined to download my entire 8k+ library of songs for self-hosted options.
I cringe whenever I hear the "it's SEO that ruined the search results" excuse for Google's incompetence/negligence.
That sounds like "another critical factor". A chain of events led to this. The parent is saying "one link in the chain is US involvement", you are saying, a different link in the chain is Iranian involvement. Both can be true, and neither invalidates the other. You've done nothing to invalidate the parent's post because you haven't removed their link from the chain, you've just added other salient links to the chain.

Stop treating blame like it's some simple, single element. It's a complicated, multi faceted chain of events.
Both shocking and obvious to anyone who has watched the traditional life paths evaporate as youth have hit ages that in the past have been filled with milestones, only to be left in the dust - and blamed for not having achieved the same milestones as if it is a personal failing. Combine with being hyper connected to the highlight reels of other people’s lives (real or not), and you have perhaps the biggest gap between performance and expectations in history. And our “leadership” has been asleep at the switch (I say “our” to refer to leadership across all western nations who have invariably pursued endless growth, individualism over collectivism, and massive asset inflation). Our response to the great financial crisis took a few years for the unintended consequences to be obvious but 2014-2017 does seem to be the right timeframe.

> This means that the same path was followed for people who were born in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. All of these cohorts saw mid-life crises with peak unhappiness in midlife. Claims have been made that the mid-life hump was linked to changes in what people expect from life over time or set points against which individuals calibrate how their life is unfolding. The pattern was even apparent in apes, leading some to speculate that the life course of well-being is linked to psychological traits common to primates.

> That was then. And now everything has changed. The hump shapes and U-shapes in age have disappeared into the ether. Now, young adults (on average) are the least happy people. Unhappiness now declines with age, and happiness now rises with age—and this change seems to have started around 2017.
Congrats to the Fish team. The best shell just got better.

> To fire an individual, the company must have documentation to ensure it's not a wrongful termination.

Not in the US. All you must do is tell them they're gone, walk them out the door and that's that. You must pay them any worked days not yet paid but that's all.

Company HR departments sometimes establish more elaborate procedures for firing, but none of that is required by law, it's just internal company process.

I'm not making numbers up here; the controlled studies that have been done agree with me.

See here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4945566

Worse/less experienced developers see a much greater increase in output, and better and more experienced developers see much less improvement. AI are great at generating junior level work en masse, but their output generally is not up to quality and functionality standards at a more senior level. This is both what I've personally observed and what my peers have said as well.

Out of curiosity, which LLM code tool do you use?
It's absolute insanity. Something has to give, or we're about to see some big changes in how hiring is done.

I'm an industrial engineer who writes software and admittedly not a "senior dev", I guess, but LLMs help me save much more than just a few hours of week when crapping out a bunch of Qt/Python code that would cause my eyes to glaze over if I had to plod through it.
The Library of Congress is doing a lot of work in this area that web-dwellers tend not to notice. I'd like to see them get more money and more compute to start a non-curated digital archive mission.

> Those cabinets, which Joco says are FDNY-approved, are a growing vertical for the startup, particularly in NYC where battery fires have run rampant due to unsafe charging practices, leading many buildings to ban e-bikes and e-scooters.

First off, there's no such thing as "unsafe charging practices." The chargers are completely automatic, and all ebike batteries, even the really cheap ones the couriers prefer, have battery management system boards that cut off the battery if it gets over[voltage/temperature/current].

Second, _not a single fire_ in NYC was due to an e-bike. Every single one of them was an electric scooter or "personal mobility device" ie onewheel, hoverboard, etc. But NYFD kept calling them "ebike fires" and this was not a "mistake" (see below) https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2022/04/26/app...

Third, the NYC government has a long history of hateboners for ebikes. NYPD regularly would do "raids" and confiscate e-bikes from delivery workers, which they could get back for several hundred dollars - a fine greater than nearly any motor vehicle infraction there is. It amounted to a city-government-run-mafia shakedown of some of the city's poorest residents. This is just more of the same; NYFD are purposefully lumping in e-bikes with the devices actually causing fires, to push a narrative that eBikes are dangerous.
So read this article, which is about exactly this?...
Plenty of mental health conditions make a person more likely to have a stronger reaction to a situation, to take risks, or to act without consideration of consequences. Following up a whistleblower act with suicide because it didn’t go as hoped is also not surprising.

Perhaps you’ve never been around bipolar folks.

Calling it “prejudiced” is silly.
The 4090 computer per watt is the best (on paper) between the 4060 ti, 4070 ti and 4090. Best bang for $$ though looks like the 4070ti 16GB. I've been eying that one for a new dual card training rig.

It's not my area of expertise so I might just be delusional here, but from my understanding phones are difficult to make waterproof if they had replaceable batteries because they require a massive lid that spans across the entire phone while having a limited amount of thickness to work with and also because they have some expectations about the depth at which they remain waterproof. You don't necessarily have these constraints with a toothbrush. You can have a small opening at the bottom where you insert a tall battery and have plenty of height left to make a waterproof hatch. You're also unlikely to submerge your toothbrush in more than 50cm of water, like in the event of dropping it in the bathtub.

> Also, anecdotally, I’ve never had a sonicare toothbrush battery die. They still last weeks after many many years of use.

Sure, these exist too, though it doesn't reflect the majority of items which cheap out on all components, including batteries.
This, 1000x. Thank you for voicing the absurdness of their approach to 'consent'.
The strange thing about this retirement plan is that it assumes you will spend 15 years living somewhere, and then one day just walk away from all the social ties you've made during that period, during the prime of your life. I suppose there are people who could probably do this, but for most folks, this is not going to be a joyful path.

I saw this in my codebase firsthand. At first, we had to communicate with one device. Then two. For that second device, I subclassed the class that handled the communication with the first thing, and changed 3 methods in the subclass. Now it was possible to substitute that second device for the first, allowing a different product configuration. After a few years, we had to support a third device type, and now they wanted it to be possible to have more than one of them, and to mix and match them.

Supporting the third device was handed off to a junior dev. I pointed him at my subclass and said to just do that, we'd figure out the mixing and matching later. But he looked at my subclass like it was written in Greek. He ended up writing his own class that re-imagined the functionality of the superclass and supported the new device (but not the old ones). Integrating this new class into the rest of the codebase would've been nigh impossible, since he also re-implemented some message-handling code, but with only a subset of the original functionality, and what was there was incorrect.

His work came back to me, and I refactored that entire section of the code, and this is when the generalization occurred: Instead of a superclass, I took the stuff that had to be inherited and made that its own thing, having the same interface as before. The device communication part would be modeled as drivers, with a few simple functions that would perform the essential functions of the devices, implemented once per device type. I kept the junior dev's communication code for the new device, but deleted his attempt to re-imagine that superclass. Doing it this way also made it easy to mix and match the devices.
I went bash -> fish -> zsh.

The main reason I switched is because zsh can (often) source bash scripts and can use bash completion scripts (usually), and I was tired of having to translate things from bash to fish. I also ran into a few things where something that was relatively easy to do in bash was impossible to do with fish. But that was years ago so maybe that is less of an issue now, and I don't remember exactly what it was.

Having used zsh, I think a big advantage it has over fish is the completions. There are completions available for more programs for zsh, and the zsh completions are sometimes higher quality in zsh.

But I do generally like the syntax, and good out of the box experience of fish. I wish it had a bash or even posix compatibility mode and more available completions.
You're a troll, and I'm done feeding you.
Super good feedback. It’s on top of our list to move to more real-world set up like how you are mentioning

>We trust TLS

Is this really an apt comparison? I understood the trust in TLS to be built on open RFCs and implementation stacks. Even then, whenever I send private data, I take specific steps to verify I am using that trusted stack. That is not the experience described in the article.
There are two different perspectives. The viewer is, of course, entitled to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own home. The creator or creators, conversely, are entitled to create something with the intention that it be viewed; if they didn't have that intention, then they probably wouldn't choose a visual medium.

I think what bothers me is Netflix inserting themselves into this conversation and trying to dictate what creators create. The idea of using data to say "well, some portion of people don't actually pay attention while their TV is on" to conclude "therefore, we should create visual media that is not intended to be watched" is the reductio ad absurdium conclusion of data-driven decision making gone wrong and it deserves ridicule.
Yep, same thought - although I'm not an aviation expert. Some people think the pilot "forgot" to deploy the landing gear - which seems very unrealistic too.

I guess it's best to wait for an official investigation

Material World is an excellent book. I like the choice of the six metals/minerals/materials he picked to illustrate our dependence on the physical world. It is surprising how the valuation of these materials is commoditized.
Don't think its just in tech. My wife is in the pharma industry on the research side. Just couple of years ago, she would have recruiters cold-calling her at least 2-3 times a week. She was part of a mass layoff back in spring,2024 when her entire team got axed. Almost took her 5 months and several rounds of interview before she landed two offers. Her background at one point allowed her to pick and choose were she wanted to work. Now that's not the case anymore. It's an employers market right now. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Yes, indeed, some things about it are better and some worse. Which means it’s good for consumers to have a choice, and more importantly, for companies with a track record of good taste in designing high-quality smartphones to have a free hand.

That's not what I read from infecto's post, they say that people with preexisting mental health issues are more likley to commit suicide.
I am tempted to say yes, but in truthfulness it really depends on a lot of details. If we are just talking about the card creation phase, then I recommend other tools I made, especially voice 2 Anki (posted on hn at the same time but has not taken off for some reason :) )
If we are talking about the actual learning and memorizing phase, then yes, I think those tools are valuable. But that being said, I'm also sure there are some edge cases of very specifically weird things that do not end up very suited for those tools.
If they advertise "What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone.", these kinds of options must be off by default. Since they are on, I can consider this one and their other statements about privacy lie.
Same here. I used it for about 3 days before I installed it on all my systems and permanently switched. For me, it was like the first time I learned a non-Latin language, and my eyes were opened to how much stuff I took for granted was completely arbitrary.

For example, here's how you write an autoloaded function "foo" in Fish: you make a file called "foo.fish" in its config directory. Inside that, you write "function foo ..." to implement it. There's no step 3. That's it.

Want to customize your shell prompt? Follow the process above to write a function called "fish_prompt" that uses normal scripting things like echo, pwd, git, or whatever to write your prompt to the screen. There's no step 2. That's it.

Fish was revelatory. Other shells of the same vintage feel hopelessly outdated to me now. For context, I was the maintainer of FreeBSD's "bash-completion" port for a few years way back when. It's not that I don't have experience with other shells. I have plenty. I just don't want to use any of the others now.
I have yet to read Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization however I paired his "How the world really works" with Material World. That was an excellent read in itself.
